OCEANSIDE -- Police captured a man suspected of molesting a
4-year-old girl Tuesday, a police sergeant said. The child's father
called police at 3:59 p.m. to a home in South Oceanside, Sgt.
Leonard Mata said. He declined to give the street to protect the
family.

The man, who had been doing some gardening for the family, fled
before police arrived, Mata said. Officers searched the area and
found him hiding in the back yard of a home in the 1200 block of
Kirmar Place at 4:37 p.m., the sergeant said.
